RE: Want to get started on Blurt?

in #blurt8 months ago

"Later, there were new platforms created through Hive, and one of them was Blurt."

Actually, Blurt is a copy of the Steem blockchain. All Steem accounts and wallets were copied and pasted. No content was copied.

"if you are struggling on Steem and not really earn more than $0.1 or less per post, you will actually earn more and experience a far greater portion of success if you decide to use Blurt."

That's a good point. A lot of real content-creators who have stayed on Steem, and from what I've seen that's not many, have deals going and other arrangements that ensure their posts get votes, like this one has. But many are like myself, posting here and earning between 0.00 and 0.03 USD per article. I make about $2 here per year, as does just about anyone without an arrangement such as vote-for-vote, buying votes, etc. Most Steem users, therefore, can easily move to Blurt and start making a lot more.

Blurt has a "universal basic income" function called Blurtbooster. If you're human, and post content you create yourself, you can get an automatic vote on every post, generally about $1 (if your post isn't just a quick snapshot and title). A lot of small Blurt users are simply there for the Blurtbooster vote, draining the reward pool without adding much to the blockchain. $1 a day is enough to bolster a family's income in the third world. (Here in Canada, well, let's just say I've worked MANY years full-time to amass enough to buy a single cart of groceries.)

So yes, Blurt is a good spot for content-creators that can't make money on Steem. If they bring money to Blurt, great. If they bring social capital to Blurt, great. If they're just there to crosspost and drain the reward pool, oh well, nothing we can do to stop them.

Thanks for dropping by @drutter! Somehow I thought Blurt originated via Hive and not Steem, but then I seem to have gotten that wrong. Agree with you when it comes to the earnings on Blurt being easier accessible than here at Steemit!
